Justice for People on the Move Summary

Justice for People on the Move: Migration in Challenging Times by Gillian Brock (University of Auckland)

By executive order, the US adopted an immigration policy that looks remarkably similar to a Muslim ban, and threatened to deport long-settled residents, such as the so-called Dreamers. Our defunct refugee system has not dealt adequately with increased refugee flows, forcing desperate people to undertake increasingly risky measures in efforts to reach safe havens. Meanwhile increased migration flows over recent years appear to have contributed to a rise in right-wing populism, apparently driving phenomena such as Brexit and Trumpism. In this original and insightful book Gillian Brock offers answers and tools that assist us in evaluating current migration policy and in helping to determine which policies may be permissible and which are normatively indefensible. She offers a comprehensive framework for responding to the many challenges which have recently emerged, and for delivering justice for people on the move along with those affected by migration.

Justice for People on the Move Reviews

'Brock's excellent book challenges readers to think carefully about what allows us to make policies around immigration and refugees that serve the interests of our citizens. In so doing, her book helps us to think deeply about what a just world would look like for migrants and non-migrants alike.' Serena Parekh, Journal of Global Ethics
Gillian Brock's book is a vital contribution to the existing philosophical literature on the ethics of migration. It engages in an original and incisive analysis of how respect for human rights ought to guide immigration policy today.' Desiree Lim, Ethics
'Justice for People on the Move will be invaluable for those seeking clear ethical metrics for evaluating recent immigration policies. Brock deftly navigates between exploring current events and providing sound philosophical reasoning. Her capacious ethical framework draws from her prior work on global justice and solidly grounds arguments regarding policies that affect the human rights of migrants and refugees.' Paulina Ochoa Espejo, Haverford College
'Gillian Brock directly engages the issues at the heart of our public debate: the US Muslim Ban, deportation of irregular migrants, refugee policy, temporary guestworker programs, and strategies for combating terrorism. Brock's excellent book has done us a great service by bringing the tools of philosophy to bear on these issues.' Anna Stilz, International Journal of Applied Philosophy
'Gillian Brock's compelling and richly textured new book aims to set out a human-rights-based framework for thinking about justice in migration.' Andrea Sangiovanni, International Journal of Applied Philosophy
'Justice for People on the Move is an important contribution to the political philosophy of immigration. It is humane and compassionate toward the world's most vulnerable migrants, refugees, while nonetheless seeking to understand the misguided thinking behind the attraction of anti-immigrant rhetoric for many ordinary people, as well as whose interests roadblocks in the ways of progress on migration justice serve.' Matthew Lindauer, Res Publica
'Justice for People on the Move presents an important research program. Its core insight, that migration contexts should be understood not as natural justificatory deserts but rather as gaps in international human rights protection that need cooperatively to be filled, importantly sets us on the right track in thinking about contemporary migration challenges.' Jiewuh Song, Res Publica
'... a fine book ... that explores how the values embedded in the post-war human rights framework can be applied to illuminate the tensions between the rights of political communities to self-determination and the rights and aspirations of migrants and refugees.' Christopher Bertram, Mind
'Brock's framework ... does highly important work. Justice for People on the Move is an exciting book of great practical ambition, and its human rights framework facilitates its considerable capacities for action guidance.' David Owen, Ethics and Global Politics book symposium
'A powerful, new account of migration justice, and as exciting, ... contribution to normative debates on climate displacement.' Shelley Wilcox, Ethics and Global Politics book symposium
'A significant contribution to the literature on migration justice. The book situates itself as a core reading for anyone interested in global migration justice and provides an excellent bridge between International Relations and Political Theory.' Merve Edilman, Journal of Refugee Studies
'Her argument is a powerful and searing indictment of the inadequacy of present efforts and attitudes towards migrants and refugees. We should learn the lessons Brock offers, as well as investigate alternative pathways for clearing more access routes to developed states for people on the move. Pandemic aside, the international community ought to do much better, and this book offers one such path forward.' Carmen Pavel, Ethical Perspectives
